The cable detects the very low level of reflected energy that travels from the seismic source, down through the earth and back up to the surface, using pressure sensitive devices called hydrophones. Greenpeace is confronting this seismic vessel in the Barents Sea north of Russia, protesting the Russian oil giant Rosneft as it prepares to drill for oil in the fragile Arctic. Early this morning, as the Rosneft-contracted vessel Akademic Lazarev began firing underwater sound cannons up to 250 decibels in the Fedynskiy license block, Greenpeace approached the vessel, demanding that it stop operations immediately. Rosneft has recently signed joint deals to drill in the Arctic with international oil companies including ExxonMobil, BP and Statoil.Locations:Barents SeaDate:13 Aug, 2013Credit:© Will Rose / GreenpeaceMaximum size:5437px X 3625pxKeywords:British Petroleum (BP)-Copy space-Day-ExxonMobil (Esso)-KWCI (GPI)-Offshore drilling-Oil (fossil fuel)-Oil (Industry)-Outdoors-Research vessels-Rosneft-Save the Arctic (campaign title)-Seas-Seismic testing-StatoilShoot:Confronting Arctic Oil TourThe MY Arctic Sunrise is in the Arctic to expose and confront Russian oil companies like Rosneft and their Western partners like Exxon Mobil, Statoil and BP, who are preparing to drill in the region. Greenpeace is campaigning for a ban on offshore drilling in the Arctic, and for the uninhabited area around the North Pole to be declared a global sanctuary. Greenpeace and millions of supporters are challenging Rosneft and other companies at sea, on land, and online.Related Collections:Confronting Arctic Oil Tour (Photo + Videos)Seizmic ProtestSeismic Testing
